APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR ENCODING DATA FOR VIDEO COMPOSITING

摘要

A storage medium, such as a digital versatile disc (DVD), that includes both a media portion and a data portion. The media portion comprises, for example, one or more scenes from a movie, a television program or the like. In certain embodiments, the media portion includes a full-length movie. The data portion includes reference information, such as data files, usable by a compositing device to selectively insert a real-time image into a video scene stored on the media portion. For example, the data files may contain a plurality of trigger points that provides for the display, at appropriate times, of a real-time composite image instead of the prerecorded video scene.
